The healthy and quite tasty Japanese curries here are heavy on the vegetables - in fact the special of the house promises a full day's ration of vegetables. The shop itself is decorated in a whimsical camping-equipment theme - portable lanterns, backpacks, thermos bottles - and most dishes are served on miniature iron skillets.

Unlike their smaller main branch in Yoyogi, they also offer several non-curry main and side dishes, but it's generally best to stick to the curries. The drinks menu features ten budget wines, priced from Y2200-2800 per bottle (or Y500 per glass). Lunch and dinner curry sets start at Y1000, and other entrees start at around Y1700.

This book will introduce you to more than twenty of Japan's favorite specialty foods that are less well known abroad, along with a guide to the best places in Tokyo to try them and expert tips on what to order. From Bento.com.
